Bug#493645: ITP: nostromo -- small, simple, fast and secure httpd

[Matthias-Christian Ott <ott@mirix.org>]

Are there any new news regarding this matter?

I tried Kai's nhttpd package from http://hendry.iki.fi/debian/, but it
seems he is building it with Webconverger installed.

Could someone please list the points that stop it from integration
into Debian?

At present I am aware of the following issues:

  1. Man pages pointo /usr/local instead of /usr.
  2. Webconverger webpages are included.
  3. Document root is /srv/webc (see also 2.) instead of /var/www.
  4. Tarball contains CVS directories.
  5. BSD authentication is enabled (it just fails always) even if it's
     not available.
  6. Nostromo uses it's own logging framework instead of syslog.
